Ingredients:

Serving

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups chopped plum tomatoes , with juices
6 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
4 slices focaccia bread, toasted (4-inch square slices, about 2 oz each)

Directions:

Marinara-heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat; add onion and garlic; cover and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in fresh tomatoes and any juices, sun-dried tomatoes, salt and pepper; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have broken down, 8-10 minutes.
Stir in basil and remove from the heat; transfer to a food processor and pulse to form a coarse-textured sauce.
Return to the pan and set aside.
Burgers-place turkey, scallions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, oregano, pepper, and salt in a large bowl.
Gently combine, without overmixing, until evenly incorporated.
Form into 8 thin patties about 4 inches wide and 3/8 inch thick.
Combine 1/4 cup cheese and basil and place an equal amount in the center of 4 patties.
Cover with the remaining patties and crimp the edges closed.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add burgers and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 165°, 8-10 minutes.
Reheat the marinara on the stove.
To assemble the burgers, spread 3 tablespoons marinara on each toasted focaccia, top with a burger, about 3 more tablespoons marinara and 1 tablespoon remaining cheese.
